Reminiscent of Sparks and Pet Shop Boys and with lyrics Lady Gaga would kill for, the album takes you on a vivid journey through a day in early 80s New York, bouncing round the clock from night to bleary daybreak and headlong back into the club.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMarc provides an initial snapshot into the album:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\"Danceteria is a love letter to New York in the early 80's. The time we spent in New York - where we recorded our first 3 albums - shaped us both as artists and people. To celebrate this period is a fitting farewell to Dave Ball and the final Soft Cell studio album.\"\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e'Danceteria' is equally a tribute to the late, great Dave Ball. The final album is one of the last bodies of work Ball co-wrote and produced before his sad, untimely passing on the 22nd of October 2025. Almond led the obituaries, describing Dave as a \"brilliant musical genius\". The world's media followed, hailing him as an electronic music pioneer, plus music stars including Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe from the Pet Shop Boys, Mute Records' Daniel Miller, Cabaret Voltaire and Richard Norris from Dave's techno duo The Grid contributing an outpouring of elegiac praise. Dave finished 'Danceteria' two days before he passed away, and it is in full tribute to him that the album release went ahead as planned.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt is also because of Dave's passing that 'Danceteria' simply has to be the last Soft Cell album, as Marc explains:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e'There can be no more recordings of Soft Cell without Dave, it would not be possible. The sad reality is that Dave Ball was half of Soft Cell, and live work aside, I can't write Soft Cell songs without him.\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Elusive (Vinyl Edit)\u003cbr\u003e2 Danceteria\u003cbr\u003e3 The Space Inside (Vinyl Edit)\u003cbr\u003e4 Times Square (Vinyl Edit)\u003cbr\u003e5 Two of a Kind\u003cbr\u003e6 The Rainbow Room (Vinyl Edit)\u003cbr\u003e7 In Heaven (When I Dance with You)\u003cbr\u003e8 Decadence Is Hard Work\u003cbr\u003e9 Losing Yourself\u003cbr\u003e10 After Hours\u003cbr\u003e11 Wave to America\u003cbr\u003e12 Out Come the Freaks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003estreet date 9\/25\/2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 pt-2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118180393160,"sku":"5053760153573","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4522291-3618755.jpg?v=1781643533","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/pre-order-soft-cell-danceteria-lp-indie-exclusive-clear-red-vinyl","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
